Black Progressive Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Beats Cocaine Felon Confederate Tattoo Florida Man

By All the Votes (title continued)

from Wonkette:

Democratic House Rep. Alcee Hastings died in April 2021, and now almost nine months later, his replacement, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, is going to Washington DC. This really shouldn’t have taken as long as an average pregnancy, but Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delayed this as long as he legally could, denying residents of Hastings’s majority Black district congressional representation for almost a year.

But what’s past is past and DeSantis is an asshole. Let’s talk about Cherfilus-McCormick, who easily beat the stuffings out of Republican Jason Mariner, who is pro-insurrection and has Confederate flag tattoos. That can put you at a disadvantage when the electorate is only 21 percent white. Cherfilus-McCormick was leading with 78 percent of the vote at 8 p.m. Tuesday night.

She’d challenged Hastings unsuccessfully twice before his death, and she narrowly won the Democratic primary by five votes. The primary was packed with 11 Democrats hoping to replace Hastings. (DeSantis also took forever to schedule the special elections for the three Democratic lawmakers who resigned their seats in order to run.)

The GOP Stall is a pattern of slow roll obstruction. This is DeathSantis' "freedom Florida."

Glad we now have another vote in the House.
